I found this clip posted by Marlin Crawler. A lot of marketing hype but does demonstrate the difference in crawl ratios from fairly stock (54:1) through 100:1 and super low (254:1) all over the same obstacles.
You can certainly see the increase in control and traction as the crawl ratio increases

Nice video Wooky

That’s why Rubicon’s do so well then. The low crawl gear and the swaybar that can disconnect

But. Now I want to know more about this Taco Box

Marlin Crawler have been around for quite some time in the states.
They were one of the first (if not the first) to start building after market low geared double transfer cases.
